Day One     Bagdogra/Darjeeling – Sandyang Lee

You will be met by your private Shakti guide and driven approximately 5 hours to our house in Sandyang Lee Village near Rinchenpong.

The Sangdyang Lee House is beautifully located and offers fantastic views of the Kanchenjunga massif.

In the early evening, your guide will give you an introductory briefing about Sikkim and your tour after which we invite you to enjoy an evening around the fire with drinks and a delicious dinner under the stars.

Day Two     Sangdyang Lee

Today’s walk begins with a gentle climb along a lush jungle trail, by isolated houses and quaint hamlets along the way. You will find that the local people are ever smiling and very friendly. Pass by the Rangeet River in a lovely valley and continue onto the Magi Darra from where you can enjoy stunning views of the entire valley below. Further ahead is Poison Lake, which also offers fantastic Himalayan views. Closeby is the newly constructed Gurung monastery which is also worth a visit.

This afternoon we have a delicious picnic lunch arranged for you. On the way back you will have a chance to visit a traditional house that belongs to the Lepchas, who are the aboriginal people of Sikkim.

Return to Sandyang Lee for a leisurely evening and overnight.

Day Three     Sangdyang Lee – Hee

Awake at dawn today to walk up a short distance above the house to watch the sun come up. The sight of the sun rising through the fluttering prayer flags with Kanchenjunga in the background is truly unforgettable.

From here continue on to Rinchenpong Monastery to participate in the early morning prayers which the monks conduct daily. The prayers and chanting are truly fascinating and spiritually uplifting. Drive back to the house for breakfast.

Later today you will head to Hee Village to our next house. The route runs along a ridge from where you will be able to get some amazing views. On the way you will pass through the charming village of Bhasmay.

Break the journey and take in the beauty of this region while you enjoy a delicious picnic lunch at a lovely spot. About one and a half hours later you will reach Hee.

Day Four     Hee-Radhu Khandu

After breakfast, the owner of the village house, Krishna Lal will show you around his village. This is fabulous opportunity to meet and interact with the local people. Continue uphill, through a wildlife sanctuary, to the enchanted lakes- a series of three beautiful lakes one after the on the mountain side. After a picnic lunch, walk along a flat path to a local cave, which the locals consider to be a home for holy spirits.

Radhu Kandu village is our next destination where you will arrive mid afternoon. The rest of the day is at leisure to enjoy as you desire.

The house at Radhu Kandu is the most special of the three. It is a charming traditional Sikkimese house with two bedrooms and outside toilets and showers. The owner family is lovely and quite entertaining to spend time with. The location is sublime and there is nothing better than having tea in the sit out room which has 270° views of the area.
